Tyler Rogers, Mayor, received 452 of the total votes to 146 for his Citizen Party opponent Darrell Frampton. Theodore "Tad" Norman received 455 votes and Orvil Mecham was just behind with 452 in the city council race. Their Citizen Party op-ponents R. J. Hone and Merlyn Tomlinson got 157 and 131 respectively. Jay Roundy and Nyle Harris each got 1 vote. The new slate of officers will go in on January 1 or as soon thereafter as they can be sworn in. However you can bet that they will be attending council meetings between now and then in order to get their feet on the ground and be able to start their term with some Councilman Tad Norman Good luck, new mayor and councilmen, you will certainly need it to solve all the problems facing you. Councilman Orvil Mecham knowledge of what is going on in city government. Right now Lindon is growing, just starting their Mayor Tyler Rodgers sewer operation (see another article in the paper) and the problems are many, and the dollars are short. by Mark Johnson The voters of Pleasant Grove voted to retain Cornell Haynie as Mayor and Frank Mills as a city councilman, and chose Stephen Peterson as a new councilman at the elections held Tuesday. All of these men ran on the People's Party, so the party was also victorious. It is noted that the carryover councilmen, Ford West, John Huntsman and Grant Atwood had all ran on the Peoples Party so if party loyalty means anything, there should be a general agreement among the city council. Mayor Haynie captured 69 of the votes cast Tuesday, which would in-dicate that a majority of the citizens have been pleased with his last four years in of-fice. Councilman Mills received 1397 votes, 56 more votes than Mayor Haynie, which would also indicate citizen satisfaction of his actions for the last four years. Stephen Peterson, a newcomer to local politics, made a very good showing with 1159 votes, 476 votes more than the next challenger. Total tabulation of votes by district for each of the can-didates is shown elsewhere in the newspaper. The percentage of turnout has been computed two dif-ferent ways. Total registered voters was 3798 and total number of people who turned out to vote was 1962 or 52, which was a little higher than for previous elections. This year it was decided to obtain an accurate percentage of voting participation by determining those registered voters in the various districts Councilman Frank Mills published and that the city uses the local newspaper, the Pleasant Grove Review to publish these notices and all olher legal notices. The Review also publishes the happenings of the council meetings the following Thur-sday after the Tuesday meetings. Councilman Steve Peterson by deleting those people who had moved from the district, and therefore were really not there to vote. The county requires that even though a person has moved from a voting district that his name remain on the registration book for four years. After the e people were deducted, a total of 3305 persons would have been the maximum turnout for the election. This raised the percentage voting to 59 which is a very respectable turnout. District No. 7 showed a 75 turnout and District No. 10 followed closely with 74. All districts had over 50 turnout except No. 9 which only reached 49. The interest in the election was also shown by the num-ber of people availing them-selves of the use of the ab-sent voter ballot. This year there were 26 residents who obtained this ballot which is triple any other local election year. Mayor Cornell Haynie Campaign is Vigorous The campaign was vigorous and competitive and thanks should be expressed, especially to E. Mark Bez-zan- t, Donald Frazier and Roland Robinson for taking an interest in the community and desiring to serve the citizens of Pleasant Grove. Much time and resources go into a campaign and all the losers come out of it with is thanks for their willingness to serve. Now that the election is over, much has been said about obtaining citizen input, and the city council members would like all citizens to know that the city council meetings are held on the first and third Tuesdays of every month and anyone is invited to attend. If you want to bring something before the council, and get your name placed on the agenda to be heard, you should contact the city recor-der at the city hall. Citizens are also reminded that public-notice-s are required to be "Pleasant Grove, the Most Beautifully Situated City in Utah Cei-fify- " VOL.

This is an opportunity for a rewarding communication between parent, student and teacher. The parent-teache- r con-ference strives to understand the work of the pupil through the parent understanding the teacher, the teacher under-standing the parent, and together working for the welfare of the child. The parent-teache- r con-ference attempts to unify the guidance and growth of each child. All learning experiences of the child, whether at home or at school, provide important observations for parent and teachers. These conferences are viewed as a positive approach to eliminate pressures bet-ween home and school and to arrive at common understan-dings for pupil's progress. The parent-teache- r con-ference is a continuing study of the growth and develop-ment of the child for a school year. A schedule is being made that will correlate the time of parent's visits to make them as accommidating as possible. Notices of time schedules will be sent home on Tuesday, November 15th. Students in grades 3-- are asked to attend the parent-teache- r conference with their parents. Students of grades K-- 2 are not to attend the con-ferences. Parents, this is an impor-tant part of your child's total progress. Please make every ' effort to be to your assigned appointment prepared to in-teract with your child's teachers so that together you can arrive at the needed prescription for your student's development.

Residents may now make their paymen-ts for hookup at City Hall on week days from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Because of the problems that many people are running into with c1 ging their own lines, city officials suggest and recommend that a licen-sed professional digging ser-vice be hired. City water service lines have been severed, and the gas and telephone un-derground services which have to be replaced at con-siderable expense, will be billed to the property owner. The licensed contractor is bonded and has insurance protection on this expensive mistake. The city will not stop private installation as long as the fee is paid and the permit and inspection and test is made. They merely make recommendations to prevent problems and additional ex-pense to property owners. Provo Canyon Road Due For Limited Improvement The Transportation Com-mission arrived at this decision after carefully reviewing all of the options presented in the Draft En-vironmental Impact Statement, comments from various city, state and federal agencies, and public commen-ts raised at two hearings held earlier this year. The UDOT staff will now prepare the Final Environ-mental Impact Statement which will address the chosen alternative and respond to issues raised during the public review process. If the Final EIS is adopted by the Commission, the EIS must then receive approval from the Federal Highway Administration and the Council on Environmental Quality before any construc-tion could begin. UDOT of-ficials expect to have the Final EIS finished within the next year. The Utah Transportation Commission today cleared they way for a limited im-provement of the road through Provo Canyon. The five-memb- Commission unanimously adopted the "Location features of this project as presented at the public hearing and in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement" and directed the UDOT to prepare the Final Environmental Impact Statement. The proposed project ex-tends from in Orem through Provo Canyon to US-4- 0 in Heber City. Along 8th North from to US-8- no major improvements are pro-posed. From US-8- 9 to Olm-stea- d (the mouth of Provo Canyon) 8th North would be widened to four lanes within right-of-wa- y already owned by the UDOT. An improved two-lan- e highway with passing lanes would be constructed through the lower portion of Provo Canyon as far as Vivian Park. The improved road would follow basically the same alignment as the existing road, although there would be areas where curves would be flattened in order to improve safety and expand capacity. From Vivian Park to Wild-woo- d (turn-of- f for U-9- the Alpine Loop) the existing road would be improved through the Canyon Narrows. No major realignment is proposed. From Wildwood to Heber City the proposal is to follow the existing highway with only minor improvements to enhance safety, remove critical points of congestion, and reduce maintenance costs. ji P.7.A. 'Reflections' Protect P.T.A. is most interested in helping each individual child and youth gain self-estee-and try to help him attain his potential ability. The Arts are a way of allowing expression of inner feelings. Often students who are outstanding in Academic fields have received recognition, while many of the students, talented in the Arts, have not been recognized. In a continuing effort to provide youth an opportunity for creative expression, the National P.T.A. has spon-sored the Cultural Arts "Reflections Project". Each year we have more and more students par-ticipate, and there have been many National Winners from Utah. We hope there will be many students participate and use their talents and creativity in submitting an original entry in Art, Music, or Literature. The project theme is "Love Is" with divisions: 1. Visual Drawings, Sculptures 2. Literature--Poetry- , Prose, Drama. 3. Music-Sco- re of original composition (with or without words). The project is starting now, and the judging must be completed on our school level by January 20, 1978. We are permitted to have five winners from each catagory.

The fine is for connecting to the system without permission and in-spection, not for failing to connect. In further action the council decided to leave the 90 day requirment to connect as mandatory, subject to the use of administrative authority to waive cases of hardship and or weather. It was pointed out that this should require ap-proval by the city attorney. It was pointed out that if any consideration that might be given to allowing property owners to wait until Spring to put in laterals would be made at the Nov. 22 meeting. How-ever due to EPA require-ent- s for operation plus pay-ments to contractors and on the bonds, the city will have to require that the hook up fee and monthly charge will have to be met anyway to meet this. No formal action was taken and hook up requirements still exist. C of C Looking For Tree for Christmas The Pleasant Grove Cham-ber of Commerce are looking for a Christmas Tree for this year. With the Forest Service not giving away any trees of the size they need to properly fill the space in front of the city hall, they are depending on someone in the area who has one they would like to have removed. If you know of such a tree, or if you have one and want to donate it for this worthy cause, call Gary Hendry at the Ideal Market.
